The Commonwealth of Austris is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Yury Volacic with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.945 billion Austrisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kamyenyets. The average income tax rate is 84.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Austrisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,577 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 132,096 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and people are always complaining about dam builders running behind schedule. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Austris's national animal is the Crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.

Austris is ranked 65,643rd in the world and 5th in The Eternal Order for Most Stationary, with 736.89572977532 days.
